Words with Friends is a web, smartphone, and tablet application that functions as an online version of Scrabble. If you know how to play the classic word search game, you will pick up Words with Friends very quickly. This article will show you how to get started.

Decide how you want to play Words with Friends. You can connect your Facebook account to the WWF application, download the App on your iOS device, or download the App on your Android device. When you have it installed, launch the application.

Decide whether you want to connect your Facebook account to WWF or to create a separate account with your email address. It's easier to find friends to play with if you allow WWF to access your Facebook.

Think of a word with your first seven tiles and place it in the center of the board, making sure that at least one letter is over the starred space in the middle. The numbers in the corner of each letter indicate how many points using that letter is worth. Your score for the turn is the sum of all the point values of the letters you used. The less common your letter is (or the harder it is to make a word with), the more points it will be worth.

Click "Play Game" to start a new game. Install the app if you haven't already.

Pick a Facebook friend or random user to start a WWF game with. Words with Friends will suggest friends, but you can start a game with anyone but click on the green "Start a game" button in the top left. Wait for your gameboard to populate.

After each turn, you will randomly get new tiles, so that you always have 7 tiles. Place another word onto the existing words on the board, and try to score as many points as you can!
